Development = immature development time in days; egg viability = percent of eggs that hatched; lifespan = adult lifespan in days; oviposition = measure of fecundity in number of eggs per egg raft; survival = percent survived to adulthood

^aValues for other units of oviposition reported (number of egg rafts per female and number of eggs per female per lifespan) are given in Additional file 1: Dataset S1
